Activate your animatronics whenever you want to create a big scare when you use the Universal Footpad Activator. This easy to use activator works with all items and comes complete with footpad and two connectors.

I've used several of these for my Haunted Garage every year. They attach easy are fool proof, and can be placed where least suspected. Kids come along and stomp on it and it keeps on working. Great investment for moving Spirit props!

We used this in our Haunted Trail, specifically in the barn people went through to get to the trail. I used the remote and one 12 year old boy dropped to the floor screaming! Another person working in the barn came out later and said: "I know that was expensive, but whatever you paid, it was worth every cent! It scared me every time and it was priceless watching the people getting their first scare!"

We setup our front yard for Halloween. We have many devices to startle visitors. We use many of the step pads, hidden under mats, so that the visitors trigger the event that's also hidden but, in front of them

Footpads allow you to set up a scare or surprise and "hide" when it is activated. Or you can secretly tap the footpad and the prop works. A great way to control your event or prop! They work well and are easy to attach and use.

This footpad is an inexpensive accessory that can customize your animated decorations. If you're tired of all of the motion sensors being set off at the same time the footpad allows controlled activation of individual items. You can even hide it if you don't want it visible (but it's pretty sensitive).

Are you have trouble getting your foot pad to work? Do you think you might have purchased a defective one? Read further...

I was asking myself those same questions. Here is what worked for me with the Jumping Spider prop. When the foot pad is plugged into the 1/8" jack it becomes the new ON/OFF button. That may sound obvious, but it is not. The footpad only worked for me when the Jumping Spider was in the OFF position. It never worked when the spider was in the ON position. Now it works every time. I also noticed the pad does not activate the spider when you step on it, it works when you step on it and THEN lift your foot off the foot switch pad.

'Step here' pads are a crucial part when using a lot of animatronics. These pads work for the most part but are super small and the 'button' inside the pad that need to be pressed for it to work is roughly the size of a quarter.So I suggest putting a light weight mat or a thin board over it so that you have a better chance of it being set off.

I bought 2 of these two years ago. They both worked on Halloween night the first year, one worked the next year and now neither work. Considering they were only stepped on less than 50 times, I would have to say these are cheap Chinese crud. Would it really be so difficult to make something that lasts awhile?

I just bought this foot pad to use with the pumpkin nester and Bloody Bags. I tried it on both devices and seen the same issue. Sometimes it worked but most of the time it didn't. I don't know if I'm just unlucky and bought a bad one but other comments I have read show the same issue so my guess is they are not manufactured very well. Oh well

Comments aboutUniversal Footpad Activator:

Works fine with new 2012 props, but is not compatible with older props that work with try me buttons, even though it has an 1/8" jack connector. So do NOT toss your try me buttons. And Spirit, please do not stop making the try me buttons. There are still many props that only work with them. So, this new pad is not quite universal for older props.

Well i got it for my jumping spider that i also bought from spirit. Works great, could be a little more responsive though. Tested it out on my little sister (10 yrs old); at first i had it covered up and she kept walking around it. I uncovered it when she wasn't looking and when she saw "step here" she stepped on it. After the laughter of her being scared, i asked her why she stepped on it after walking by that very spot and not stepping there before; her reply, " it said "step here" so i did. Dont you know thats what kids do???" Anyways, works better uncovered when dealing with kids haha.
